TV Kidney Competition Was A Hoax

A Dutch TV contest which purported to show a dying woman choose a patient to receive her kidneys was a hoax. The "donor" in the show was in fact, an actress. However, the three people vying for an organ were real patients in need of a kidney transplant. These three people did know that The Big donor Show was not real. It was made to highlight the shortage of Dutch donors. The show had atracted widespread criticism before the hoax was revealed.Presenter Patrick Lodiers said "We are not giving away a kidney here, that is going too far even for us," just at the moment when the fake donor was apparently about to reveal her choice of patient. It sounds to me like the whole thing was in bad taste, don't you think so too?
